Ben has experience both as lone junior and led junior in the Court of Appeal and High Court.

Ben has always demonstrated his commitment to the underprivileged and disadvantaged. Frequently, he provides pro bono advice to solicitors in such cases involving youths and those with mental health problems.

He represented a convicted murderer against the Secretary of State for Education to allow him to teach
illiterate adults and succeeded in overturning the State's decision in what the Tribunal found to be a complex
and “exceptional case”. This 2010 case demonstrates the “heavy-weight” legal nature of some of Ben’s
work.

In addition to his Crown Court practice, he has dealt with a number of Judicial Review matters related to
prison law and has appeared before the Parole Board on many occasions.

Many solicitors select Ben to deal with cases where mental health is a key feature. He has also appeared
before the Mental Health Tribunal in prison law matters.
